The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[BMWCurves]

So yeah, it's lame, indeed, that max pressures are on the door jam. I saw it and was like "dang, that's a lot", but then was like, "must be what they recommend, and I trust BMW engineers" and proceeded to inflate the shit out of my tires. lol

Needless to say, I've let some air out. I'll stick with what the tires say, and if I'm lucky, I'll find my way to an AutoX with this car to really know what perfect is.

Had the same issue and later I wondered why my ride was stiff. Since then I adjusted to 38/40 front/rear and that's still high but is much better.

Good to know...

Our shocks/struts won't fit on an E46 wagon/touring, correct?

I think they will. Possibly different spring rates for the rear, though.

Second question. Does anyone know the difference between these two door clips apart from their apparent color:

1. 51418224781 - "Clip with seal ring" according to RealOEM (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...h/51418224781/)
2. 51418224768 - "Clip with washer, natur" according to RealOEM (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...h/51418224768/)

Maybe one is rubber washer, and another is foam? They're also listed in the diagram on RealOEM as the same thing (#6), but have different quantities:

Thanks! Some guy has been texting me locally for my used suspension parts but they have a touring.

You could always use RealOEM to verify

I forgot you can just pick a car, you don't need the VIN

None of the part numbers match up, so I think the interested party is out of luck.

If I were to install O2 spacers (spark plug non-foulers) to get rid of a CEL with aftermarket headers it wouldn't have any affect on performance and airflow correct?

What's the correct sequence on the key fob for trunk pop? I've tried combinations of presses and holding and it doesn't seem consistent.
